'... what is most remarkable about Shakespeare and Wales is not its ability to surprise and delight (although it does that), but the fact that it has taken this long for scholarship to recognise the centrality of Wales to Shakespeare's works... this is a collection that succeeds in throwing new light on well-thumbed plays. It puts Wales at the centre of debates about Shakespeare's attitude towards the British politics of his day - and with those politics resurfacing in our era, Shakespeare and Wales serves as a powerful reminder of the Bard of Avon's continuing relevance to the now.' Times Higher Education 'The present volume digs deeper [...] with the various contributors providing much thought-provoking context for Shakespeare's Welsh connections and the critical response to them over the years.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'The collection offers fresh and often surprising readings.' Shakespeare Jahrbuch, 2012
